Watch @JessMacCleary: Growing Up Filipino

Filipino Friday

Growing up Filipino

• "There is no such thing as taking a picture alone."
• "You could never do your chores on time."
• "People will always make you eat balut."
• "Buying your breakfast and realizing it's still alive."
• "Education is a very important thing in Filipino culture."
• "Mom you're yelling." Mom: "Hindi ko yelling. This is how I talk."

That's a pretty good list Jessica.  I can relate since I also grew up in the United States; I moved to Chicago when I was 9 years old.  My kids, I'm sure, would love this video -- especially the "education" part. Yes, your grades can always be better. I passed that on from my parents too. :D

I was going to invite Jessica MacCleary to join FilAm.us, but she already has quite the following on social media.

• Facebook Page - 50,261 likes

Ang galing mo Jessica.  Keep it up.  Btw, Jessica, your tagalog is pretty good!
